This is Marlee and I watching a movie while the movers pack the house up.
We also made quite the schedule for ourselves during our travel time to California. On Zachary's final day of class we had our final move-out inspection and drove to Ft. Worth to stay with some dear friends of mine, the Tracy's. Marlee had a great time! They have three dogs and two fish tanks. So, you can imagine her two little legs wondering all through their house in amazement. She loved giving out hugs to everyone as well...I believe in an attempt to avoid going to bed, but nonetheless sweet! I wish I got a picture of Marlee with Brad, but I only got one with Dawn.
This is Dawn and Marlee looking at the "Pishes".
The next morning we got up super early and Brad was kind enough to take us to the airport at 5am. We were on our way to Indiana to see Zachary's family and some friends of ours. We had a great time and got to see A LOT of family and friends. I wish we took more pictures, but we were always on the move it seemed and I didn't think of it.
This is Marlee and Ahvay! She is Todd and April's daughter and she just turned 3. They were like best friends as soon as Marlee ran into the house. Ahvay was so patient with Marlee and was so sweet to her. I wish we could have stayed longer. We also got to see JT. He lives in Tennessee, so it was great that he got the opportunity to come up and see Zach and the gang. I will have to get some pics of the boys up soon.
We also got to visit with Zach's dad again, and also get a chance to see his grandma Mona. Marlee had such a great time playing with her tea set and all the fun things Ramona had out for her.
I am also a big Phase 10 fan, so when I found out Ramona was as well....of course we had to play a game! We had a lot of fun playing!
Marlee also got to spend time with her "Poppy" again.
This is a picture of them hanging out and coloring.
She loves hanging out with him. She couldn't get out of the seat belt fast enough to run up to him and give him a big hug! We were fortunate enough for him to stay with us for two weeks just a few weeks before we left San Angelo. I wish we would have gotten a picture of the two of them, but maybe next time!
Zach's mom also had their whole family over to celebrate an early Thanksgiving with us. There were 30+ people there! Crazy, right? I feel as short as Marlee when they are all around too! They are all so tall! It is always fun having them around...I don't get a chance to see them often.
This is Zach's mom with her brother and sisters and their dad.
They had four tables of family, but this picture shows a few of them.
Marlee had a great time seeing them all again as well. She had fun playing with little Leon and also Oscar and Roxy, the dogs, and Crazy, the cat. "Kee Cat...Kee Cat", she kept calling throughout the house trying desperately to pet the cat. Sometimes she would succeed and others she lost the battle. Roxy had a little lobster toy and Marlee played catch with her until she could giggle no more! She had such a great time!
I have only just begun and it feels as though I have written a novel. There is still so much to show and tell.
These pictures were taken at Zachary's mom's house. We had a good time, and so glad his brother Josh was able to be there to see us. He became Marlee's buddy fast. She would walk up to him and grab his hand so she could go upstairs and play. It is so nice to see her with other family members and love them the way she does.
It felt as soon as we got to Indiana we had to get back on the plane and come back to Texas. I will end this post here and start up Part II of our adventures soon! Stay tuned!
